My God. This is the true definition of "live performance." The song comes alive through her voice, she's zoning but stays in touch with the audience. I love it. So inspirational for a young performer like me. Thank you, Anita.

This is one of our legends with a voice like no other, notice the way she's dressed, she looks gorgeous and sexy but guess what she is covered and still looks beautiful. He voice is perfection and she is surrounded on the stage by excellent musicianship especially the pianist. This lady is a performer to the max and yes I have always been a fan of Anita Baker!

(BLACKTINO's).........God Bless you Anita Baker and all the wonderful talents in which you have shared with us in God eyes, multiple talented individuals that the rest of us felt and saw through your eyes and heart....Thank you..! You've enriched us all and more than one way; Haven sent....Keep smiling on us! I'm still trying be a prince more than one way, while teaching my sons and grandson the meaning of a "promise in a woman eye"...Commitment of a "TRUE PRINCE:..!

Beautiful comment! The energy & cohesiveness of the performance (with Lee Ritenour!) already brought tears to my eyes; to read of how it influenced you brought it all to a full boil! I, too, heard this song early on at nearly 4 years into in my marriage. From there it influenced & reminded me not to deceive my wife & two daughters' lives with "fairy tales" like Anita Baker described. Now, going into 31 years of marriage, I hope I've honored that thought. Yet, I still get a tear or two when I hear it again & think of other little girls it described who never or hardly ever had a romantic dream come true. Thanks for sharing!
